Contagion® is a fully integrated news resource for practitioners and specialists to assist with the identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases.

C. difficile ST81 is among the common STs in this study. Two independent sub-lineages of C. difficile ST81 strains are found. Furthermore, the presence of a high number of AMR genes and multiple mobile elements indicate a potential risk for transmission of C. difficile ST81. Bas …

The objective of this study was to determine the presence of C. difficile in seafood, to identify the ribotype of isolates, to reveal the distribution of their toxinogenic genes and to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility of C. difficile strains. For this purpose, a total of 755 seafood samples we …

Background Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is a significant healthcare concern, marked by its rising prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality. However, there is limited data on...

The global antibiotic resistance market is anticipated to reach US$ 17.23 billion by 2030; growing at a CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period, 2022 – 2030.

The prevalence of C. difficile in spinach, carrot, and milk samples from selected regions was low, and nontoxigenic strains were prevalent. Despite the low prevalence, the detection of C. difficile in these foods highlights the potential risk of foodborne transmission of this pathogen and underscore …

The intricate relationship between human and pet microbiomes represents a fascinating and highly relevant area of study for veterinary professionals.

Clostridioides difficile is one of the leading causes of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. In this study, we characterized 76C. difficile isolates, obtained from three Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) farms in Slovenia from November 2014 to October 2015 (sampling period 1) and from Jan …

A bacterial infection is seeing a “significant rise” in Wirral that can lead to “debilitating” diarrhoea as health officials warned the situation was unacceptable as it becomes “business as

The NHS said some people could be more likely to get an infection for six reasons

C difficile cases rose to their highest level in more than a decade, official data published this month shows.

Recent increases in community-associated Clostridioides difficile infections have highlighted the importance of monitoring toxigenic C. difficile from animal and environmental sources. We provide the complete circularized genomes of two toxigenic C. difficile strains isolated fr …

CDB is an exceptional and lethal clinical condition, mainly seen in patients with previous gastrointestinal diseases. IV Metronidazole demonstrated therapeutic efficacy in this case report and could be a successful and available therapeutic option in Mexican health care units.

Hospital surfaces are known to contribute to the spread of healthcare-associated antimicrobial pathogens. Environmental sampling can help locate reservoirs and determine intervention strategies, although sampling and detection can be labor intensive. Composite approaches may help reduce time and cos …

spaniClostridioides difficile/i is a One Health pathogen found in humans, animals, and environment, with food representing a potential transmission route. One Health studies are often limited to single country or selected reservoirs and ribotypes. This study provides a varied and accessible collecti/span …

Our epidemiological data, while suggesting a potential resurgence in CDI transmission during COVID-19 pandemic, are derived from a single-center experience with limited generalizability to the broader population. Nonetheless, they highlight the need for strengthened antimicrobial stewardship and nat …

MDROs/C. difficile transmission is prevalent within a tertiary care hospital and further complicated by its inter-facility transmission across surrounding LTCFs and hospitals in Japan.

Clostridioides difficile currently constitutes a major pathogen of the gastrointestinal tract, which poses a significant growing burden on medicine and veterinary medicine in many regions. A farm was assessed (feed table, silage pit, and feces (healthy animals, emaciated animals, and animals …

Clostridium difficile is the most common cause of nosocomial infectious diarrhea. The incidence of C difficile infection (CDI) is increasing in both inpatients and outpatients, and outbreaks caused by a hypervirulent strain of C difficile are ...

The four core concepts of the CDC’s Social Vulnerability Index could be used to predict the severity of Clostrioides difficile infection and all-cause mortality, according to a study presented at IDWeek.

We found frequent environmental contamination with EIP in LTCFs. Colonization status of a resident was a strong predictor of higher levels of EIP being recovered from his/her room.

Surveillance of healthcare-associated infections (HCAI); MRSA, MSSA and Gram-negative bacteremia (Escherichia coli (E.coli), Pseudomonas aeruginosa ( P. aeruginosa), Klebsiella species ( Klebsiella spp.), and Clostridioides difficile ( C.difficile) infection among Independent Sector providers. Experimental statistics for the period April 2024 to March 2025.

Our study underscores the need for routine epidemiology surveillance and standardized CDI classification protocols in Mexican institutions. Though CDI rates in our country align with those in some European countries, disparities between public and private healthcare sectors emphasize the importance …

Despite large increases in several CDI risk factors, we did not observe the expected corresponding changes in HA-CDI rate during the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesize that infection prevention measures responding to COVID-19 played a role in CDI prevention.

Our study underscores the need for routine epidemiology surveillance and standardized CDI classification protocols in Mexican institutions. Though CDI rates in our country align with those in some European countries, disparities between public and private healthcare sectors emphasize the importance …
